Change your locks anyway. Even if he does return the keys, it takes 10 minutes and about a tenner to make a couple of copies for himself.

Please choose a reputable locksmith and find out exactly how much you'll be paying before the work is done. Also pay by credit card if possible - you get extra consumer protection.

You don't need a locksmith. I'm useless as DIY or anything practical, yet I changed a lock barrel in five minutes. And the barrel and keys cost less than £10. It's a stupidly easy job.

It's a coercive control move.

Change the lock.

Describe and log it.

Report to the police.
